The next Barcelona match is upon us! The newly-crowned back-to-back La Liga champions are in the Basque Country to face Deportivo AlavĂ©s, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Wednesdayâs clash:
Goalkeepers: 13. Joan Garcia, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 33. Eder Aller
Defenders: 2. JoĂŁo Cancelo, 3. Alejandro Balde, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Pau CubarsĂ, 15. Andreas Christensen, 18. Gerard MartĂn, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric Garcia, 36. Ălvaro CortĂ©s, 42. Xavi Espart
Midfielders: 6. Gavi, 8. Pedri, 17. Marc Casadó, 20. Dani Olmo, 22. Marc Bernal, 43. Tommy Marqués
Forwards: 7. Ferran Torres, 9. Robert Lewandowski, 14. Marcus Rashford, 19. Roony Bardghji
The big news for this one is the return of Andreas Christensen, who is back after missing several months with a knee injury. There are some key absences, however, as Flick decides to rest FermĂn LĂłpez and Frenkie de Jong, who didnât even travel, while Raphinha misses out through suspension and Lamine Yamal (hamstring) is ruled out through injury.
Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1):
Joan; Kounde, Araujo, Eric, Balde; CasadĂł, Bernal; Roony, Olmo, Rashford; Lewandowski
The match kicks off at 9.30pm CET/WAT (Barcelona), 8.30pm BST/WAT (UK & Nigeria), 3.30pm ET, 12.30pm PT (USA), 1am IST (India, Thursday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
